Sam Bowers

As Imperial Wizard of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Bowers ruled over a four-year campaign of pervasive white terrorism during which he was suspected of orchestrating at least nine murders, seventy-five bombings of black churches, and three hundred assaults, bombings, and beatings. From 1964 until his conviction in 1967 on federal civil rights violations in the triple murder of Michael Schwerner, James Chaney, and Andrew Goodman, Bowers was the animating force behind white Mississippi's journey into the heart of militant rage of the anti-civil rights movement. At age 73 in August 1988, Bowers was convicted for the murder of Vernon Dahmer. On November 5, 2006, Bowers died in a hospital in Parchman Prison. His body lay unclaimed for several days until an out-of-state relative, wishing to remain anonymous, came for his remains.

"It is my hope that the pagan media and academic establishment will implode on the force of its own corruption and stagnation."

"...my personal paranoia is somewhat mitigated by my... knowledge of the positions and public power techniques of the Pagan Academy-heathen Media - and Established Secret Police axis which is now dominating (without rule) over the American system."
